Summer’s End Lyrics by John Prine

The Tree of Forgiveness

2018

[Verse 1]
Summer's end is around the bend just flyin'
The swimmin' suits are on the line just dryin'
I'll meet you there per our conversation
I hope I didn't ruin your whole vacation

[Verse 2]
Well you never know how far from home you're feelin'
Until you've watched the shadows cross the ceilin'
Well I don't know, but I can see it snowin'
In your car, the windows are wide open

[Chorus]
Just come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to be alone
Just come on home

[Verse 3]
Valentines break hearts and minds at random
That old Easter egg ain't got a leg to stand on
Well I can see that you can't win for tryin'
And New Year's Eve is bound to leave you cryin'

[Chorus]
Come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to be alone
Just come on home

[Verse 4]
The moon and stars hang out in bars just talkin'
I still love that picture of us walkin'
Just like that old house we thought was haunted
Summer's end came faster than we wanted

[Chorus]
Come on home
Come on home
No you don't have to be alone
Come on home
Come on home
You don’t have to be alone
Just come on home
